Annecy, the « Venice of the Alps». Stroll through its canals and its medieval streets to be brought back in time, it is truly one of those unforgettable cities of Europe ...
The most magnificent views are while driving along or while boating on Lake Annecy.
Its cyrstal clear waters that reflect the summits of the surrounding Alps will knock you off your feet !
Along the shores of the Lake, you'll come across two age old Castles which give this area an almost mystical ambiance.
Cruise on Lake Annecy and enjoy a memorable views of the city and the surrounding mountain summits.
A traditional Savoyard dinner will be served of fresh, locally-sourced products while admiring this amazing mountain lake.
Get on the next tram up to the Aiguille du Midi (Aiguille translated… needle you’ll see why) at 12,605ft. A mythical place where climbing teams start out their long journey for the ascent of Mont Blanc, 15,774ft. Or in winter months it is where skiers start out their adventure of La Vallée Blanche.
This is the closest anyone (without hiking) can get to the Mont Blanc, Europe’s highest summit. The Aiguille du Midi has a restaurant and other facilities but the newest and most exciting one is “Step into the void”. An actual plexiglass box hanging (securely) off the side of the building.
This wonderful natural playground will not disappoint.
Serenity and gourmet pleasures in a unique setting at the famous Mer de Glace : enjoy the finest mountain cuisine prepared with regional products.
Savor Alpine dishes comfortably seated on the sunny terrace facing the Dru peaks or inside cozy and warm in the dining room
At the heart of the mythical Refuge du Montenvers, let yourself be carried away by the authenticity of a high altitude restaurant.
